early to rise, early to ... learn how to swim

[shadowdive]

Who: Vanitas shadowdive and Karkat usedshooshpap
Where: Lake of Raaageeee
When: forward dated to Monday, the 28th
Summary: Vanitas swore that Karkat would learn to swim. Whether he likes it or not.
Rating: ... PG-13 for Karkles mouth?
Log:


While the absolute buttcrack of dawn isn't exactly Vanitas' favorite time of day, it is just light enough outside that flying to the lake will be way easier than wasting part of the day by walking. At least it's not like he's asleep anyway. A normal wake up call isn't all that necessary though, since Vanitas is going straight to Karkat's door and giving it a solid three knocks.

He's got a minute to answer before Vani is sending in his ice type with a cold wake up call.

[ YOU KNOW KARKAT DOESN'T SLEEP MUCH. read as: barely ever. this time, though, he had been blissfully curled up in the bed, Alex curled up beside him. all is going well, but the beast senses Vanitas' presence and bounds off of the bed.

right before there is ice being blow in Karkat's face.

and he screams. ]

[shadowdive]

[.... Yep, that scream makes him grin widely. He'll just back up a bit from the door to avoid getting it thrown in his face now.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ sorry, Karkat isn't going to throw anything. he is going to tear out of his bed with a feral growl and chase after/tackle Vanitas though. ]

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

[shadowdive]

[Hey, it was worth it, caught or not. Vanitas still tries to tear down the hallway, wearing a grin as wide as his face and laughing pretty loudly.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat snags one of the couch cushions. THAT'S what he's going to use to throw at Vanitas. ]

Get back here and fight like your shame globes have dropped, coward!

[shadowdive]

[Turning and catching that cushion, he pelts it back as he darts out the door without a word.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ and as soon as Karkat skids out the door, he's calling out his Luxray to hunt Vanitas down. HE WILL CATCH YOU, MOTHERFUCKER. ]

[shadowdive]

[Except he's simply standing by his Altaria, who is all saddled up and looking ready to go. Still grinning widely, Vanitas crosses his arms.]

We're going to the lake today. I knocked and waited for you to get up, so the cold was a punishment.

[usedshooshpap]

Hoofbeast shit! I would've gotten up if you had knocked, bulgereek.

[ stares at the saddle and frowns. ]

I'm not even dressed for this nonsense.

[shadowdive]

You didn't get up and I knocked three times. You don't need to be dressed, you're just going to wear shorts. I packed what we'll need already.

[Karkat is going to have that Vanillish spraying some cold air at his legs. Get on the saddle, bro.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat hisses and GLARES at the Vanillish. ]

You are enjoying this way too much Vanitas.

[shadowdive]

A bit. Get on the saddle. [As if his never-ending smile tells just how much fun this is.]

[usedshooshpap]

I will have my revenge. You're going to crash and sleep sometime.

[ huffs and calls his Luxray back before growling and climbing on that bird. ]

[shadowdive]

I don't need sleep like most people do. [Returning his own Pokemon, he moves to climb onto the front saddle and get Sanaa to take off. Hang on, cause there isn't a whole lot of warning outside of the bird standing up.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ wasn't a whole lot of warning the last time either!

Karkat is smart enough to hold onto the handles this time. no repeats of their last flight! ]

I know, dumbass.

[shadowdive]

You mad it'll take longer to get "revenge"?

[Oh good, no grabbing of the back, that's a plus. Sanaa is off and they're zooming above the path easily.]

[usedshooshpap]

Nope. It will only be sweeter.

[ yeah, okay no. Karkat still doesn't feel at ease on the bird ( and he rides a bat! ). casually just... throwing some arms around Vani's middle. ]

[shadowdive]

[Flinching and leaning forward, jerking as if he could avoid the pressure around his middle, he grunts once but doesn't say anything. It's weird, but not that bad.. just. Weird.]

[usedshooshpap]

If I die today, I'm haunting you for the remainder of your days here.

[shadowdive]

So, forever? [It's said a little hesitantly, not turning his head.]

[usedshooshpap]

That would be the plan, yeah?

[shadowdive]

.... [It's a good thing he really has no reason to turn his head, because masking that little smile takes a simple tip of his chin down to his chest.]

Weirdo. Why would you want to stick around me forever?

[usedshooshpap]

For shits and giggles.

[ because outside of Eridan and Sollux? he feels like he has no one now. ]

[shadowdive]

Oh, well then, ha ha.

[Doesn't change that he can't take the little smile off his face like he wants to.]

[usedshooshpap]

It's the perfect revenge. You get to deal with my shitty attitude permanently.
